19 having faith and a good conscience. Some have rejected these and have shipwrecked their faith. (1 Timothy 1:19 CSB)

We have watched over and over agin as successful people end up in the news for misconduct of some sort. They, at some point, rejected doing things the right way with good conscience for what they wanted to do.

This, more often than not, creates a shipwreck. Their lives, their families and friends all have to bear witness to the dismantling on the rocks of bad decisions.

In our lives if we reject scripture and sound practice our lives too become shipwrecked and we can find ouselves adrift.

Having faith and good conscience can help us stay out of the dangerous shoals of life.
